Job Description

Why join Upscale, Inc. 

Upscale, Inc., is building the high-performance infrastructure powering the next generation of artificial intelligence. Backed by over $300M in funding and rapid global adoption, we are scaling systems designed for the world’s most demanding AI workloads.

We focus on first-principles engineering across silicon, systems, and networking—where performance, scale, and execution are critical. Our team is talent-dense and high-performing. We value ownership, technical rigor, and speed, and we offer the opportunity to work on foundational problems with immediate, real-world impact.

If you’re looking to do high-impact work, move fast, and help define the infrastructure behind the future of AI—Upscale is where you can produce meaningful work at the frontier—and operate at a high standard. 

Role Overview

The Senior Director, ASIC Design Verification is a hands-on verification lead responsible for building a DV team from the ground up and driving verification closure on Upscale AI's networking switch ASICs — including Ethernet, UALink, and next-generation scale-up interconnect silicon. 

The ideal candidate is deeply technical, stays close to DV implementation and leads by example. 

At the same time, this leader will recruit, hire, and mentor a high-caliber verification team, establishing the methodology, infrastructure, and culture needed to achieve first-pass silicon success on aggressive schedules. This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of hands-on verification engineering and team building in a fast-moving startup environment.
